Newton Ulis Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in Nevada, with a statewide ranking between 65-92 out of 380-384 schools in recent years. The school's performance on SBAC assessments is significantly higher than the Clark County and Nevada state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (49.4%) and Reading (58.9%) for all grades were over 15 percentage points higher than the district and state averages. The school's 5th-grade students performed exceptionally well, with 67.7% proficient or better in Reading, compared to 43.5% in Clark County and 45.3% in Nevada.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, 100% of its students come from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which is a significant challenge that the school has been able to overcome. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Smalley James E & A Rae Elementary School, Newton Ulis Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with significantly higher academic proficiency rates. This suggests that the school's strategies and practices could be valuable in improving the academic performance of other schools in the district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
